Each official project team has a page there containing the information related to the deliverables managed by that team. Unfortunately, I don't think this page is checked often enough and I believe it's not known by everyone. In the hope that we can make this information clearer to people browsing the many repos (most likely on github), I'd like to propose that we include the information of each deliverable in the readme file. This information would be rendered along with the rest of the readme (at least on Github, which might not be our main repo but it's the place most humans go to to check our projects). Rather than duplicating this information, I'd like to find a way to just "include it" in the Readme file. As far as showing the "official" badge goes, I believe it'd be quite simple. We can do it the same way CI tags are exposed when using travis (just include an image). As for the rest of the tags, it might require some extra hacking. So, before I start digging more into this, I wanted to get other opinions/ideas on this topic and how we can make this information more evident to the rest of the community (and people not as familiar with our processes as some of us are). Thanks in advance, Flavio [0] http://governance.openstack.org/reference/projects/index.htmlIs your proposal that a tag like release:cycle-with-milestones would result in a badge being added when the README.rst is rendered on github.com? Would that work for git.openstack.org, too? I agree that the governance site is not the best place to put the info to make it discoverable. Do users look first at the source repository, or at some other documentation? DougI like this idea. I know when I am looking at software, I look at the source repo initially. We could do it in the readme, and maybe re-use it in the docs as well?
Yup! Re-using this in the docs is definitely part of the plan.
I would be willing to dig in and help if needed.
Might take your word on this :D Flavio -- @flaper87 Flavio Percoco
